Album Review: Various - Dead Man’s Town: A Tribute To Born In The USA

Ever imagined what The Boss’s 1984 smash, Born In The USA would sound like if given the same acoustic treatment he’d afforded Nebraska two years earlier? The album’s dozen songs are stripped of rock bombast and all survive with integrity intact – highlights include Justin Townes Earle’s rendition of Glory Days, Trampled By Turtles’ I’m Going Down, Nicole Atkins’ Dancing In The Dark, Low’s I’m On Fire and Joe Pug’s Downbound Train, but it mainly serves to remind how great the actual album is.
